We consider the problem of designing constraint-aware flow matching (FM) models that address the issue of constraint violations commonly observed in vanilla generative models. We consider two scenarios, viz.: (a) when a differentiable…

Using spectral flow, we provide a proof of [11, Theorem 9.17] on unitarity of Ramond twisted non-extremal representations of unitary minimal $W$-algebras that does not rely on the still conjectural exactness of the twisted quantum reduction…

The well known maximum-entropy principle due to Jaynes, which states that given mean parameters, the maximum entropy distribution matching them is in an exponential family, has been very popular in machine learning due to its "Occam's…

The stable allocation problem is a many-to-many generalization of the well-known stable marriage problem, where we seek a bipartite assignment between, say, jobs (of varying sizes) and machines (of varying capacities) that is "stable" based…

Consider routing traffic on the N x N torus, simultaneously between all source-destination pairs, to minimize the cost $\sum_ec(e)f^2(e)$, where f(e) is the volume of flow across edge e and the c(e) form an i.i.d. random environment. We…

We give a lower bound on the expected degree of the free minimal spanning forest of a vertex transitive graph in terms of its spectral radius. This result answers a question of Lyons-Peres-Schramm and simplifies the Gaboriau-Lyons proof of…

Normalizing flows transform a latent distribution through an invertible neural network for a flexible and pleasingly simple approach to generative modelling, while preserving an exact likelihood. We propose FlowGMM, an end-to-end approach…

An extended formulation of a polytope is a linear description of this polytope using extra variables besides the variables in which the polytope is defined. The interest of extended formulations is due to the fact that many interesting…

We derive a refined conjecture for the variance of Gaussian primes across sectors, with a power saving error term, by applying the L-functions Ratios Conjecture. We observe a bifurcation point in the main term, consistent with the Random…

We present a method for conditional sampling for pre-trained normalizing flows when only part of an observation is available. We derive a lower bound to the conditioning variable log-probability using Schur complement properties in the…

Query evaluation over probabilistic databases is notoriously intractable -- not only in combined complexity, but often in data complexity as well. This motivates the study of approximation algorithms, and particularly of combined FPRASes,…

Wardrop equilibria in nonatomic congestion games are in general inefficient as they do not induce an optimal flow that minimizes the total travel time. Network tolls are a prominent and popular way to induce an optimum flow in equilibrium.…
